91精选鈥檚 Academic Affairs and the Whitney Young Honors School鈥檚 Spring Liberal Arts Student Symposium will showcase students鈥� academic presentations and submissions. The student-driven event will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday, April 14 in ASB Auditorium.
The symposium鈥檚 live performance of the Student Learning Outcomes aims to highlight KSU鈥檚 students鈥� achievements. The symposium also has created a tradition of providing an intellectual activity that can be shared with the Frankfort community.
Last year, several KSU students including Lacey Trautwein and Christa Watson participated in a fall symposium. Trautwein, who presented an academic paper on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, called the event 鈥渧ery enlightening.鈥�
鈥淎s undergrads, many of us don鈥檛 get the opportunity to show off their research, but with this symposium, we can,鈥� Trautwein said. 鈥淚t was a wonderful opportunity and I encourage students doing all types of research to participate.鈥�
KSU student Watson was one of the interviewers who posed questions to the student presenters. She said that the fall activity allowed the participants a chance to sharpen their public-speaking skills and be informed about their peers鈥� projects.
鈥淭here is a lot of research being done on this campus that I knew nothing about before attending the symposium,鈥欌�� she said.
